London Called…

London Called…

I organized a quick vacation to one of my favorite destinations: London, England. London is an immensely cultural city, full of preserved history that stuns in person. Clearly from my pictures, we explored the big three: Big Ben, Westminster Abbey (where Will and Kate married!), the Tower of London (sorry, no pics of the Crown Jewels), and all the bridges! You must walk from South to North London in order to view the glorious St. Paul’s. When our hunger could not be ignored, we ate at small pubs for some scrumptious fish and chips. For a classier feel, we loved Soho House for their rooftop cocktail bar. Yummy! Of course I could not resist shopping in this global city and visited the royal department store Harrods for their shoe floor. It was a girl’s dream! I also enjoyed a more street-inspired feel at Camden Market and bargained for funky shirts, jewelry, hot food–you name it! Lastly, because modern art always intrigues me, we visited the Tate Modern. Originally an old power station, the Tate transformed the Southbank with its modern art exhibitions from across the world. London could not be complete without a city tour and we hired a private black cab for a two hour personal view of the sites. A vacation I’ll never forget, the city of London is too big to handle!

My journey into Rwanda literally started at the border. I’ve never crossed a border on foot, and it was quite the experience. There was lots of anxiety (on my part—Ryan was fine), documents to review, and new friends to meet. Danny would drive us the two to three hours to Kigali, where we’d stay at…

We decided to visit Hotel Tivoli on a whim, booking a room on the same day. It would be the first stop on a long weekend road trip to Montreal. I’d read about Hotel Tivoli in Conde Nast Traveler, and I was instantly smitten. A 10-room inn brought to life by artists Brice and Helen Marden? We’re in!
